March is here and spring break is just around the corner for most students across the country. Many are anxious to escape the cold weather and shed some layers of clothing. Remember to protect yourselves during your time in the sun. Spring breakers, we want you to enjoy their time away from studying, but do it safely.

•    Lip balm with SPF 15+ sunscreen
•    Wide-brimmed hat to protect the head and neck
•    UV-blocking sunglasses to protect the eyes
•    Beach sarong for the legs
